that phone takes amazing pictures
Yes, it does. Sony Ericsson phones are consistently praised for their high quality digital cameras. I just bought a W900 yesterday (I hope it comes tomorrow!), and many reviews said it has the best camera in any phone to date. SE is really a great brand, and with their new phones coming out, like the K610, they are only going to get better. :)

I am thinking of getting this phone soon, ?150 (or cheaper, depending on if discount can be gotten). My mate has one, and his joystick hasn't died on him yet.

You might want to wait for the K800, which is set to replace this model once it comes out.

I've had a problem with my phone this past few days. It started putting itself into hands free mode and even when I switch back to normal mode it auto answers all my calls and I can't hear anything, anyone have a clue?

Had a similar thing with mine - seem to recall we got them at about the same time. I solved it by switching to another profile.

As to the other probs, my joystick's holding up well (oooh, matron), but then I think I'm a bit of a freak, because I mainly use my K750i for making phone calls. :blink: :D

I got mine a few weeks ago...I figured I'd wait for some more reviews etc... Man it rocks! Only problem I'm having is when using my 1GB MS PRO DUO card, the phone takes around 5mins to fully load the file structure, during which time I cant navigate the file explorer, play any games, or even take a picture without the phone freezing for 30secs.

It's not the Memory Stick thats faulty, or the phone either, I've tried 2 other sticks, and tried this stick in 2 other SE phones, all with the same problem.

It's not much of an issue since I rarely remove the stick, or switch the phone off, I just have to remember to leave it for 5mins or so before I start taking pics or playing games. MP3s and videos work fine straight away, just the other functions.

well I have a 2GB MS PRO DUO and my K750i dont take so long, even more, I havent notice that it load the file structure, but what I dont like is to see the photos in thumbs so if in a folder I have 20 pics in 1600X12000 it take like 10 secs to open it.

Maybe in the next firmware they improve it

Pffft mine gave up on me. When I turn it on it just flashes. Light off - light on - light off - light on ... and no text on the screen.

Damn phones.

You've just received a bad handset, that's all. Get it fixed (or do what you need to do) and you'll be happy with it (Y)

Just to add a few things...

Mine is getting quite confused with the radio now. When I quit the radio the little icon appears, when I go in to it the icon goes away. It happens all the time now, and often turn the phone on and off.

Standby time is amazing on battery life, IMO. You can get about 26 hours with the radio and nothing else at a push - a real push.

I turned down the brightness a lot on the phone and it's absolutely fine. No idea if this saves battery life, but I didn't need it as near as bright as the default.

Maybe, but I'm never paying over ?200 for a phone. Although I will get it if the K800 doesn't have a joystick - it seems to be the only major problem with SE phones nowadays. Thanks for the heads up though.

Sony Ericsson have realised the joystick problem and have fixed this for the K800i. They've ensured no dust (or limited amounts) can get underneath the joystick. I really like the 'stick method.

I thought that dust couldn't get under the K750i joystick as well, and the faultiness was simply because joysticks are moving parts and break down over time.

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
